You can easily put a 10 wide with no issues.

My wheels/tires do not stick out at all in front.
They come up even with the car as you can see.
Here are some pics.
BTW this is my second set of 18x10's all the way around with no issues.

Lets give all the info if we are giving any info.

I have 18x8.5s with 50mm offset and 255/45-18s on there
and rubbage in the front is an issue BECAUSE I have a V6
that was shipped with 16" rims WITHOUT steering stops.

Aftermarket, you gotta love em but if you dont own a Roush.....
BTW, Roush puts the proper steering stops on their tie rod
ends to limit the steering travel to eliminate tire rubbage.

This increases the turning circle diameter. V6es with 16s from
the factory have the smallest turning circle of all of the factory
equipped S197s...
There are a few different flavors of OEM factory installed steering stops.
V6 PP have one type and GTs shipped with 18s have another.

I've had my wheels/tires for the past few months and everything seems to be just fine.

275x35x20 in the front and 305x35x20 in the rear

I love the stance with the wide *** tire in the rear.

My older brother has a 2000 Trans Am w/ 315's in the rear, looks incredible.

I've got the 18x10s all around too. I love the look on the car and as long as I don't turn the wheel ALL the way, they don't rub either. Besides, after driving my Jeep, where the 33"x12.5" tires would eat the fenders, a little tire rub isn't that big of a deal.

You said it yourself... you have a V6.
This guy has a GT.
I don't see how your V6 relates to his V8 setup or ROUSH's setup.

I have had two sets of 18x10's all the way around.
My first set were ROUSH, my second set are Black Saleen Style from cruizinconcepts.

I am not familiar with ROUSH putting in steering stops either.
Especially if GT's shipped with 18's have OEM factory installed ones.

I could be wrong of course, but given that there really is no reason for this I don't see why they would. The ROUSH wheels I bought directly from them came with wheels and tires. No word was ever mentioned about it.

I also spoke with them on the phone about it before the install and I would think they would have mentioned it to me when they told me about it fitting perfectly and that they used the same combo with their cars out the door.
(I.E. nothing mentioned about needing to buy steering stops)

Bottom line is that I have had two sets of 18x10's all the way around with NO rubbing issues at all.
